Chapter 438. Merchants and Conscience Scales (4) Of course, they don't just do smuggling.
To the end, externally, like other merchants, merchants maintain merchants through general transactions.
Otherwise, the lord will notice.
But anyway, that's the name of the outside.
In fact, they make quite a lot of back money through smuggling.
It's to the point where you have to deliberately set up an alias business in another city and send money there.
Of course, they couldn't feel too good about it.
It is frustrating because the main means of building wealth is blocked.
Keigin, on the other hand, only calmly asks questions.
“It ended up like this. What will you do?”
“Keuk.... embarrassing, embarrassing.”
Of course, the only thing she blocked was the trade including the smuggling route.
So, other than that, it's okay if you do what is commonly called an ordinary business.
Even so, he was only displeased, but he couldn't let go of his lingering feelings.
The intention has already been communicated.
It is to openly set up traps against merchants and give up trying to smuggle.
“It’s a waste to give up.”
But he never let go of his greed.
“Send someone to Elliot. We need to talk.”
Besides, as long as Elium knows the secret side of this side, it is necessary to talk to her at least once.
Of course, that meant friendship, not hostility.
“At least, that's what I'm thinking of next year.”
That Eliam himself is currently sitting in the Arnil Chamber of Commerce branch here.
She flaunted her presence as if she was asking him to come on purpose.
He does not hide his ears, which are evidence of his mixed blood with a beastman.
It seemed to show her where she is now.
Threats don't work anyway.
So I have no choice but to coax you into forgetting the grudge.
It is not a low-end merchant, but an equal... no, it is going to treat and persuade as a bigger person than that.
“Will I really forget the grudge?”
“It doesn’t matter if I vomit everything I earned through that bitch. Anyway, if you just turn a blind eye to her, you can earn more than that!”
In the end, he couldn't give up his greed.
‘All merchants are the same!'
Anyway, since she's a merchant, she can't avoid being dirty to some extent.
Even if you have bad feelings, you can show sincerity and buy enough.
With that thought in mind, he devised a means to placate Elium.
“...No, why do you think I will hold hands with you again? It's a funny joke. Yes?”
However, Elium was so absurd that he gave the answer as if he had heard the best bullshit of his life.
It's not acting, it's probably being stupid about the idiots who came to him with sincerity.
“I was wondering what you were talking about, but you are bringing out something very regrettable.”
First of all, as a branch manager, I expressed my regret as politely and politely as possible.
If you laugh at them just because you heard absurd bullshit, you will only lose their status.
Rather, in this case, it is right to put your voice on the line and give strength to your eyes.
“You can pretend you haven’t heard the story now.”
But they are not the ones to give up.
“Eliam… No, Mr. Eliam. Think again. The things of the past are the days of the past.”
There is no need to talk about it because everyone knows each other anyway.
“Isn’t it necessary for Mr. Eliam to be conscious of this side anymore?”
“Hmm?...”
That's not wrong.
In any case, Elium was noticed by the Arnil Chamber of Commerce and turned to them, and now he took over a branch like this.
Even if she had a grudge, she probably wouldn't be idle enough to have to kick the likes of them.
“It is about mutual benefit.”
This will no longer upset her.
In the first place, even that is no longer possible.
Even from Elrium's point of view, there was nothing new to be gained by harpooning them.
“...Certainly, there's no reason for me to bother kicking a pebble at my feet.”
“Exactly. Rather, if we coexist like this, there might be an opportunity to resolve the misunderstandings of the past. Of course, it is an honor for us.”
“An opportunity to clear up misunderstandings.”
“Yes, if you solve it, it's not a waste even if you pour in quite a lot of gold coins.”
He was a man who made it very difficult to say that he would take care of what he had to take care of.
The corners of Eliam's mouth twisted slightly.
He arbitrarily mistook it for thinking that he was inclined to this direction to some extent.
“That’s great.”
The words came out clearly from her twisted lips.
It's really not the same.
Elium couldn't help but laugh heartily inwardly.
It really happened just as he said.
This is the greatest retaliation a merchant can repay.
It is said that there was support from Arnil Firm, but in just one month, the merchant who looked so gigantic and vicious is bowing his head.
Elium felt a strange sense of fulfillment, separate from his original purpose.
‘Is this the true true taste of a merchant that Arel-sama said...?'
It moves a large amount of goods and a far-flung amount of money, and as a result, it makes the opponent who did not like himself to come right in front of him and bow down.
Maybe this is what Arel wants to show her?
‘...Ah, now is the time to think about something else.'
Elliom, who had lost his mind for a moment, suddenly came to his senses.
It's not over yet.
The finish remains.
I have something to say regardless of the current position and the rolling money.
“Erupel... Churel... Arne ah... Cecily.”
What slowly flowed from her mouth were names of people.
“Mister Eliam?”
He was perplexed, as if he had no idea what she was talking about.
“You really don’t remember. Ah, it must be difficult for the lord of the merchant to remember even the names of the low-level merchants.”
She raised the corners of her mouth, showing even more contempt than a moment ago.
“What the hell are you talking about, Mr. Eliam?”
He wasn't pretending not to know, he was genuinely perplexed because he didn't know why Elrium was doing this.
“You really don't know? These are the names of the merchants who went bankrupt due to your firm's ‘method'... well, I'm the only one I know.”
In reality, there are so many more that even Elium can't figure it out.
The names I have called now are only the names of those I have encountered more than once.
Those who suffered remember.
However, the person who used them to suck the sweet water doesn't remember.
The reality made her cynical.
“Some have barely paid their debts.
Some went bankrupt because they couldn't pay it off. I still remember. The cry of a merchant who fell into your trap and tried to evade taxes, but was caught and cut off his wrist.”
And Elyom had to be terrified not to become like that.
“Mr. Eliam…
” “I know. As long as you're a merchant... as long as you're trusting yourself on the waves of this gold coin, it's worse to be deceived in the end. but.”
She glared at him resolutely.
“It can’t be said that deliberately deceiving is justified, right?”
In effect, it is a declaration that negotiations have broken down.
“…You are making a mistake.”
He barely squeezed the words into his mouth.
But to her now, it would only sound ridiculous.
Even if you accuse me of something in the past, the lord probably won't listen.
Even if she did, she would use a different hand.
It was clear whose side the lord would take.
From the beginning, she must have thought she would be like this.
He came back only to pay back.
“...Let's see.”
He trembled his chin, wondering if it was because of his pride or if he still had a part of himself that he believed in, and then he got up.
“As much as you like.”
Eliam also treated him resolutely and instructed the workers to see him off.
You don't even have to go out to see them off.
It would be the greatest humiliation for him.
And it will continue in the future.
Elrium, who had been staring at him proudly until the end disappeared, slammed the door! As soon as it closed, I slipped on my back and exhaled the breath I had been saving.
“Ugh… I can’t bluff twice.”
“What are you talking about? I will continue to live like that I recommend getting used to it in advance.”
Saying that, it was Arel who opened the door on the other side and entered.
From the beginning, he too had been listening to their conversation in another room.
It's still a long way away to relax by not looking at the enemy just because the enemy has retreated.
As an appropriate warning, I deliberately jumped out at this timing and asked Elrium softly.
“So how do you feel?”
I scouted her and deliberately gave her a branch of the Arnil store to do business in order to give her a chance to unravel the past.
So, after taking control of the commerce in this city based on the personnel and funds I entrusted to him, he made a counterattack against the deep core.
Although the finish was clumsy, it can be evaluated favorably from the point of view of a chick that is still growing.
“How do you feel?”
“So, do you still see the author as a huge merchant you can't match?”
Even though I already know the answer, I deliberately ask.
“....well? If I could tell you just one thing.”
Elyom sighed as well.
“Surprisingly, they look alike, ha ha ha ha. That's funny.”
“yes?”
Originally, when you look back, you realize that it really wasn't a big deal.
If you know that, it means that you are starting to wake up to some extent.
“Well, apart from that, there are some parts where you did well.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
“Especially, I was a little impressed when he suggested making and selling food cold with milk.”
Freeze milk and use it to make shaved ice.
The specific form was taken by me.
Condensed milk, chocolate, and toppings using various syrups were brought by me.
However, the draft idea was suggested by Eliam.
The only thing I did was to take the route of milk, which is the raw material, and provide condensed milk and chocolate in addition.
I'm just there now just a little too much
As a result, at first, it was a product made to feed the merchant.
Maybe after that we can sell it nationwide.
And shaved ice is my favorite too.
Is it milk shaved ice? good good
“He did really well.”
“It was nothing. Previously, goat milk had been frozen while transporting it in cold regions. When I thought about the taste at that time, it seemed like it would be more suitable than snow.”
“There is no need to be humble. There's no way other guys come to the same idea.”
It may not seem like a big deal, but it can't be easy to propose and reach it.
In that respect, I gave this newcomer an appropriate evaluation.
He might be able to bring it to him as a talent to be pampered by his uncle.
I didn't expect too much... but let's pretend it worked out.
“By the way, Mr. Arell? Do you really not have to accuse him now?”
Ellium asked, looking a little concerned.
